It’s finally here – Halloween! And as I tucked the final Twizzlers into my goodie bags last night, I couldn’t help but bop around to my absolutely favorite Halloween song – Bobby “Boris” Pickett’s Monster Mash. I love this song so much that I listen to it occasionally all year-long, but it sees its heaviest rotation by far once the leaves start to change and the Halloween Peeps  orders start to pour in. I couldn’t resist trying my hand at changing up the lyrics a little to create something a bit more Blair! I hope the master himself wouldn’t have minded my having some fun with his catchy tune. This one’s for you, Bobby!

Come on, Blair friends. Get ready for your best Boris Karloff impression, and join us for the Trident Splash! Sung to the tune of the Monster Mash, of course. 🙂

Trident Splash

I was working in the warehouse late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my candy from its shelf began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

It did the Splash
It did the Trident Splash
The Trident Splash
It was a fresh breath smash
It did the Splash
It caught on in a flash
It did the Splash
It did the Trident Splash

From my desk in Blair Headquarters east
To the master lunch room where the Blair Team feasts
The candy all came from its boxes and wrappers
I even saw a few Lance Cheese Crackers

They did the Splash
They did the Trident Splash
The Trident Splash
It was a fresh breath smash
They did the Splash
It caught on in a flash
They did the Splash
They did the Trident Splash

The scene was rockin’, all were digging the sounds
Almond Joy backed by its best friend Mounds
The whole gum crew was about to arrive
From the Big League Chew to the Chiclets Tiny Size

They did the Splash
They did the Trident Splash
The Trident Splash
It was a fresh breath smash
They did the Splash
It caught on in a flash
They did the Splash
They did the Trident Splash

Out from his office, Ben’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the door and shook his fist
And said, “Whatever happened to my Tropical Twist?”

It’s doing the Splash
It’s doing the Trident Splash
The Trident Splash
And it’s a fresh breath smash
It’s doing the Splash
It’s caught on in a flash
It’s doing the Splash
It’s doing the Trident Splash

Now everything’s cool, Ben’s a part of the band
And the Trident Splash is the hit of the land
For you, the customer, this Splash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Pam sent you

Then you can Splash
Then you can Trident Splash
The Trident Splash
And do the fresh breath smash
Then you can Splash
Then you can Trident Splash
